The sports world was rocked that fateful Fourth of July weekend when news spread that New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was involved in a fireworks accident. His condition was unknown and various “sources” gave different accounts, from he’s totally fine – to he lost his whole hand. Then ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted a photo of Pierre-Paul’s medical chart that showed that his right index finger had been amputated (Pierre-Paul later filed a lawsuit against ESPN and Schefter, it’s still pending). Now, eight months after the accident, JPP shared his story with Sports Illustrated.
